7.
rotate outer ring so tip of scroll-gear lead
thread engages jaw. pull the jaw; it should be
locked into the jaw guide.
8.
install remaining jaws in numerical order in
the same manner, starting to the right of the
jaw you just installed. the jaws should con-
verge evenly at the center of the chuck when
properly installed.
Tip: To ensure smooth installation, make
sure the jaws are straight up and down and
do not bind in the scroll gear.
— if the jaws do not converge evenly, remove
them. re-install the jaws sequentially 1–3,
and make sure each one engages with the
scroll-gear lead thread during its first rota-
tion.

Clamping
this 3-jaw scroll-type chuck has an internal scroll-

with the chuck key. this chuck holds cylindrical
parts on-center with the axis of spindle rotation
and can be rotated at high speeds if the workpiece
is properly clamped and balanced.

or a faceplate (not included).
